Chapter 1177: Half-speed forward
,!
All the seats on the rebuilt Gaussberg have a strange design in the eyes of others, that is, seat belts. For this design, Lin Ke insisted on setting it with an uncompromising attitude.
Although Juan and others didn't understand this insistence, they just added two ordinary fabrics and an ordinary copper buckle to each seat. For airships, which are almost entirely magical materials and very expensive, it is like a drop in the bucket, and everyone will no longer work against the insistence of the chief designer.
Now that the Gosbocom airship was on trial voyage for the first time, the magician and his men had actually tied themselves to their chairs. In this way, in addition to not understanding, everyone was more amused, laughing at a magician who was so timid. Even the old duke, who thought he was familiar with the strength of a certain magician, was puzzled.
However, there is a reason why someone is so careful. To understand this, we must start with the airship's floating device.
The floating device of a traditional airship is to make a giant floating stone, and then 'fix' the hull of the ship to this floating stone, so that the whole ship can float into the sky. Sometimes, due to the failure of the fixture or the impact of an external force, it comes loose, causing the floating stone to float upwards, but the hull of the ship falls down.
Therefore, how to firmly fix the floating stone on the hull is the most important issue for all airships.
The engineering logic of the Lost Earth is that if something is easy to break or fail, the quality of the material itself is not up to par, so it is good to replace it with better and more expensive materials. This is one of the reasons why airships are so expensive, as everyone is desperately trying to make this fragile device with the best materials they can find.
In order to solve such a problem, the airbag airship was born. By filling the lighter alchemy product gas with a huge air bag, the strength requirements of the floating stone fixtures can be reduced. As for the reason behind this, none of the airship mechanics can come up with a reasonable explanation. Just because other people do it, they do it, and it works.
In someone's opinion, this is simply because the airbags provide additional buoyancy and reduce the load on the hull, so the anchorage of the floating stone can be strengthened without the need for too good materials. As for why there is such a design that everyone does not know the principle of, Lin suspects that this is actually an invention brought by a certain traverser. The crowd agreed with the consequentialism and continued to use the design.
The principle of the floating stone, a magic prop, is to solidify the stone of the two magics of light object art and levitation technique. And not some very sci-fi anti-gravity device. Of course, in order to be able to adjust the height of the lift, there must be other kinds of magic to be used for control. But the main body is still light and floating.
Since he knew that the main functions of the floating stone were those two magics, it was not difficult for Lin to integrate the two magics of light objects and levitation into an airship made of magic materials. What he is best at is to integrate the magic array pattern into the magic material that can be used as the base in a way similar to a circuit board, so that it can play its due effect.
Therefore, in the eyes of others, the most important floating stone fixture of the airship has become a meaningless superfluous existence in Lin's design. Instead, the skeleton of the airship structure was strengthened, which others saw as similar to the floating stone fixture, but with a more complex structure and a larger design.
The advantage of this is that the material strength requirements of the fixture are greatly reduced, and the cost will naturally decrease. Then the light object technique covered the entire airship, which also reduced the flight burden of the airship in disguise.
You must know that on earth, a major problem that all power machines must face is self-weight. Taking a car as an example, the more horsepower the engine, the heavier the weight will inevitably increase. While the speed increases, other problems will inevitably arise due to the increase in dead weight.
But in the mystery, the huge hull of the airship is under the effect of magic light objectry, which means that once the airship reaches the sky, it has no weight itself, only the humans and the cargo on it have weight.
For those who have no mathematics and even have knowledge of physics based on experience, they may not know what this means. But for Lin, it's like plugging a feather into a propeller engine. It's not clear what happens when the engine starts at 'half speed'.
As one might expect, when the roar of the engines reached the bridge through the brass pipes, it was accompanied by a powerful propulsion force that quickly lifted the entire airship away from its place. However, the people who took the airship and did not fix themselves well, were caught off guard, and they became rolling melon gourds and turned over the ground......
Everyone, including Juan, who stood up and commanded before setting sail, rolled together as the mage family was firmly anchored in their seats, and the thief's smile on someone's face. Compared with enlightenment, more people are scolding their mothers in their hearts! Anyway, you should warn first, and you can watch the play on the side.
This sudden and powerful thrust was not spared even by the zero-second acceleration of the custom-made car, and the Grand Duke of Kaveh, who was himself a transcendent being. Although he didn't roll on the ground like the others, he stumbled and took a few steps to stabilize himself.
As a warrior-type transcendent, and still so embarrassed, how good can the mages of this ship be. Even the people sitting in the seats, because they didn't fix themselves properly, were staggered by the sudden acceleration.
However, they are not just clerical personnel who sit at their desks, they are all magicians killed in the sea of corpses and bones. So even if it's a bad state, they adjust just as quickly.
Just before they questioned the man who knew how to fix himself in his chair, why didn't he remind everyone that the speeding airship was facing another crisis. Juan, who confirmed the situation in all aspects at the first time, looked straight ahead and shouted, "Oliver, ahead!" ”
The one named was the chief helmsman of the Gaussbergen. In front of Juan's loud reminder is the watchtower on the periphery of the Automobile Manufacturing and R&D Center, which is getting bigger and bigger on the airship's main screen!
The airship that flew flat rushed straight forward. The buoyancy that comes with it is not controlled, so that the flight trajectory of the Gaussberg is slightly raised. This may be able to dodge over the perimeter of the center, but the height of the watchtower will definitely give the airship a head-on blow.
The magician, who was the main helmsman, didn't think about it, and pulled the spoke rudder back to the limit. Under the control of the flight rudder, the Gaussbergen immediately turned to climb at a large angle.
Outside the airship, all over the car center, the magicians and engineers who put down their work and watched just like that, just looking at the airship moving forward with incredible acceleration, drawing a beautiful arc in the air. At a very short distance, the hull of the ship stood almost upright, like a cupola, flying towards the sky.
"Wow, God." A group of people who did not understand the reason applauded and cheered.
